So I decided to close my Capital One Platinum account with AF this morning. I had recently acquired the Amex BCE and USAA World Mastercard, so the old Cap One was expendable.
I spoke to the rep and he asked me why I wanted to close my account. I told him that I didn't want an AF and I wanted rewards, something this card did not have.
He immediately told me that he was showing that I was eligible for an account change to the Capital One Venture One card. I told him that is good news, however I did not want a hard pull on the account in order to do this.
He informed me that no credit pull needed to be done and I could keep my same number and account opened date.
My new card will be here in 7 days.
So yes people, an account change is possible with Capital One and I can't express enough how awesome these guys are.
Congratulations.
Nice! Congratulations!

You must be 'in' with them somehow....tell us all the way!
Yes, I certainly feel the love!
+1 congrats! I was able to do the same earlier this year. Funny, I still haven't used the VentureOne card. It has been in the sock drawer since receiving it.

Amazing, this may be the first time where I've read or heard of a successful product change from Cap One.

Veture is the blue one without any AF. VentureOne is yellow.
Thats crazy..... I have had the platinum card for 10 years with the same limit of 500$ since I applied. I have called numerous times to switch and i always get the same answer, im sorry. It's just sad i cant close it because they have me by the balls with the length of the account I have with them.
